Chapter 216 Skydiving
Yan Zhi was not surprised that the 116th Infantry Company joined again. After all, the 116th Infantry Company belongs to the American army and cannot be abandoned.

Yan Zhi also knew that the main attacker who broke the myth of the Japanese army's march this time was E Company. After all, the independent company belonged to China, and it was of course what the American military would most like to see if E Company could break the myth of the Japanese army's march.

To put it bluntly, this time, the independent company should be a green leaf, which sets off the bright red flower of the E company, which is particularly eye-catching and dazzling.

The Independent Company should choose its own position this time, which is to make President Roosevelt happy and Americans happy.

In other words, the independent company is only the leader this time, and when it is about to reach the finish line, E company is the last team that should cross the line.

There is no way, the country is weak, it can only be like this!
The country is weak, that's all there is to it!
The most commendable thing for people is to know their own position objectively, know what can be done and what can't be done.

China's Anti-Japanese War requires the unity of the army and the people to boost morale.

The same is true for the United States.

The first lesson that Lieutenant Mike Winters gave to the independent company was the invention and development of aircraft, the structure of the airframe, flight speed, flight altitude, and how to correctly understand why people get airsick.

Winters said nothing about the skydive.

Lieutenant Mike Winters' teaching method from simple to deep was very appreciated by Yan Zhi. He sat on the side and listened patiently, taking notes from time to time.

When Winters mentioned how to solve the problem of airsickness, Yan Zhi suddenly remembered that on the way to the United States in China, he saw a sticky, sticky object with an indescribable shape in Zhao Fugui's helmet...

This has almost become Yan Zhi's nightmare, whenever he thinks of that scene, he has the urge to vomit.

Yan Zhi was really worried that if he couldn't pass this test, it would be a troublesome matter. By then, the soldiers would all parachute into the sky, and the officer would still be using his legs as rulers on the ground. How could this battle be fought.

After Lieutenant Mike Winters finished the first class, the 50-year-old English teacher, Ms. Ellen Ripley, couldn't wait to pick up her pointer. Suddenly, the classroom was full of mourning.

Teacher Ellen Ripley speaks Chinese fluently. She used to work as an interpreter at the US embassy in China. She is an out-and-out China hand. When she first arrived at the independent company, she had already communicated with the major company commander. , commanding the war major is up to you, and I will manage the English learning in class.

Therefore, when eating at noon, one-third of the students did not eat lunch. The reason was that in China, the spoken language taught by the playful Na Lan Huiyue to these soldiers was a mess, and they could not understand what they said. Foreigners are even more confused.

During the meal, Second Lieutenant Mike Winters told Yan Zhi that he was about to be transferred to the battalion to serve as a catering officer due to a stalemate with Sobel, but suddenly this morning he received an order from the regiment headquarters to let him do skydiving in his independent year Instructor, he came happily.

Winters said that it would be a great insult to him if he was asked to serve as a catering officer in the camp. This kind of work can only be entrusted to people who have no skills at all!

After dinner, Yan Zhi made a cup of coffee for Winters and handed him a cigarette: "There is an old saying in China that gold always shines, like you, you will definitely become a legend in the future!"

Ensign Mike Winters smiled.Smiling a little shyly, he likes this Chinese friend very much.

Everyone wants to be a legend!
~~~~~~
The next morning, the independent company and the whole company drove to Fort Benning in a military vehicle.

Fort Benning is the place where the independent company trained for skydiving.

This will be the temporary resident of the independent company. They will live in some small wooden huts on the desolate sandy land. During this six days, they will have all-round contact with skydiving training.

These small wooden huts, with all the equipment inside, are still a paradise for soldiers who have been in the harsh environment in the country for a long time. There are free beer, steak and sausage, milk, bread, and cheese and fruit. And here you can take a hot bath happily after training, and then come out to drink a cup of coffee with milk.

Fort Benning, here is still a paradise for soldiers of the independent company.

For all the soldiers of the independent company, Fort Benning is also a relatively relaxed place. When they come here, they don't need to spend most of their time on physical training, and they directly enter the actual combat training of the airborne troops.

The training of the paratrooper school should start with physical training, and then gradually shift to abcd level on a weekly basis.

But the independent company directly skipped the A and B-level physical training, and entered the C-level training.

Their physical fitness has been trained by Yan Zhi in the country, and when they arrive at the McCall military training base, their physical fitness is also the best among all the troops.

The soldiers all knew that it was thanks to Officer Yan that they were able to be where they are today.Officer Yan is their reborn parents, their food and clothing parents, they have changed from death row prisoners to military elites, and came to the United States to become the world's military elites. They can all grit their teeth and persevere, they can all do better and better than ordinary people, they are strong, they are extremely self-disciplined, they obey steel-like discipline, and they are invincible!
In the next few days, the Independent Company ran every morning to reserve energy. After coming back to eat breakfast, everyone came to the umbrella shed to learn how to fold the parachute. Second Lieutenant Winters took the trouble to explain again and again until Every soldier can do exactly how to fold the parachute.

In the afternoon of the first day, the soldiers began to simulate skydiving.

They practiced unfastening the parachute straps by jumping into the sawdust piles below in a fake airplane suspended five feet above the ground.

Or jump down from a 35-foot skydiving tower with the parachute strap fixed on the steel cable at the other end, which can greatly increase the courage of the soldier and lay a solid foundation for future real plane skydiving.

The soldiers of the independent company felt very novel about this new thing. Compared with when they were in China, the chief made them do boring push-ups every day. The bayonet fighting technique was much more fun, so the training atmosphere was very harmonious, achieving twice the result with half the effort!
Lieutenant Winters also praised this independent company very much. Other soldiers needed ten days and a half months to complete the technical essentials, but the soldiers of the independent company could comprehend it in an afternoon, and they were very proficient!

This is how excellent the Chinese army is!Looking at the soldiers of the Independent Company with iron will, Lieutenant Mike Winters was full of envy in his eyes.

E Company will be as good as Independent Company!Ensign Winters firmly believed so.

Winters is gentle, strong-willed, strict in training, and usually very generous to the soldiers. Not long after he came to the independent company, he won the respect of the soldiers.

During the meal, the soldiers all said that they were very happy to be able to train with Second Lieutenant Winters.

The fourth day is a C-level intensive training, which requires free skydiving from a parachute tower at a height of 250 feet, or training with controlled skydiving.

Soldiers climbed a tall tower.

There are seats on the tower, shock absorbers, and parachute ropes. When the soldiers reach a certain height, these parachutes will automatically open to ensure the safety of skydivers.
